WMFO and I would like to thank everyone who contributed during our 40th anniversary fundraiser. We brought in some much-needed operating income. Long live freeform radio!

April 24: Don’t miss Easy Ed’s Spring Rockin’ Riot! This event will be a fundraiser for Nick Curran, an Austin-based rockabilly/rock ‘n’ roll musician (originally from Portland, Maine) who is battling cancer. (See the attached poster, designed by the talented Miss Beck!)

Performing will be Johnny Carlevale and the Rollin’ Pins (www.myspace.com/johnnycarlevaletherollin39pins), The Pinball Millionaires (www.myspace.com/thepinballmillionaires), Amy Rose and Her Troublemakers (www.myspace.com/amyrosetroublemakers), special guests Sean Coleman (Swinedells) and Kevin Patey (Raging Teens), and more. DJ Derek and I will be spinning rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll throughout the night as well, and the evening will kick off with a free dance lesson taught by Miss Ariane and Miss Beck.

April 28: I will be the guest DJ at River Gods in Cambridge for Primitive Sounds night. Thanks to Jason Beek, P.J. Eastman, and the folks at River Gods for the invitation. Please stop by! The music starts at 9:00 PM.

Also: WMFO is pleased to announce the start of our 40th Anniversary Donations Drive. This fundraising event is currently in full swing and will wind up on March 20th. Our goal is to raise at least $5000 to continue the station upgrade we started last year and to ensure more great freeform programming.
